Commission gives favorable feedback on 48‑unit Meadow Lane mixed‑rate apartment proposal; asks for more green space and parking agreements
Summary
Developers presented a proposed four‑story, 48‑unit mixed market/attainable housing building behind Good Harvest Market. Commissioners favored the updated modern elevations, encouraged more landscaping and asked the applicant to pursue a recorded shared‑parking agreement with the grocery to reduce on‑site asphalt.
Developers presented a consultation for a four‑story, 48‑unit multifamily building proposed along Meadow Lane behind the Good Harvest Market. The plan calls for a mix of one‑ and two‑bedroom market and attainable units, surface parking (62 stalls proposed), and masonry base with fiber‑cement siding on upper portions.
Staff and commissioners were generally supportive of using a long‑vacant B‑5 parcel for housing and said the latest, more modern elevations were an improvement over earlier designs. Commissioners urged more landscaping and green space along the frontage and suggested the applicant pursue a recorded shared‑parking agreement with Good Harvest’s east parking area to reduce total surface parking on the new site. Staff said the zoning‑required parking amount is based on current code and that the commission could consider relief if a formal shared‑parking agreement is recorded.
Commissioners discussed wetlands adjacent to the site, parking layout (angle vs. 90‑degree stalls), balconies and unit mix, and the applicants said they would review opportunities to add green space and rework parking geometry if a recorded agreement with the grocery were feasible.
Next steps: This was a consultation only; the applicant will refine landscaping, parking and setback plans and return for formal rezoning/PUD and site‑plan review if pursued.
